On Tuesday, Butler also competed in the Annual KC Metro Classic, where he defeated Missouri undefeated state champion Melieke Collins of Center 11-1.

I figured I would throw in my two cents here. This is just another example of the great job LV coach Jay Johnston and his staff are doing at Leavenworth High.

For a few years now, the Pioneer program has been climbing and I really believe that will only continue as long as Johnston is at the helm. Plus, having talent like Nathan Butlers, Danny Wilson, etc. helps a lot too.

Anyhow, I think this recognition is as much a honor to the coaches as it is to the kids. Kudos to both.
